Arc

Bases: LightSource_Type

Represents the XML element Arc.

An Arc lamp is a discharge lamp that produces light by an electric arc (also called a voltaic arc), which is typically generated between metal electrodes and travels through an inert gas in a glass bulb. The inert gas can be Mercury (He), Xenon (Xe), or a mixture of the two. The choice of the gas is important because its nature determines the spectral behavior of the lamp. Refer to Type for more informations about this aspect.

toXmlFile(filename)

Serializes this object to an XML file.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
filename	string	The path to the output XML file	required

setType(value)

Sets the value of the Type attribute.

This field records the inert gas vapor contained in the Arc lamp bulb. The nature of the gas determines the spectral behavior of the lamp. At low pressure, Hg lamps emit a characteristic line spectrum, which becomes more uniform as the lamp heats up. On the other hand, Xe lamps emit light of high luminance, high color temperature, and an almost continuous spectrum distributed from the ultraviolet to the infrared.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
value	ArcType_Type	The value to set	required

getType()

Returns the value of the Type attribute.

This field records the inert gas vapor contained in the Arc lamp bulb. The nature of the gas determines the spectral behavior of the lamp. At low pressure, Hg lamps emit a characteristic line spectrum, which becomes more uniform as the lamp heats up. On the other hand, Xe lamps emit light of high luminance, high color temperature, and an almost continuous spectrum distributed from the ultraviolet to the infrared.

Returns:

Type	Description
ArcType_Type	The value of the attribute

resetType()

Resets the Type attribute to an unset state.

This field records the inert gas vapor contained in the Arc lamp bulb. The nature of the gas determines the spectral behavior of the lamp. At low pressure, Hg lamps emit a characteristic line spectrum, which becomes more uniform as the lamp heats up. On the other hand, Xe lamps emit light of high luminance, high color temperature, and an almost continuous spectrum distributed from the ultraviolet to the infrared.

hasType()

Checks whether the optional Type attribute is present.

This field records the inert gas vapor contained in the Arc lamp bulb. The nature of the gas determines the spectral behavior of the lamp. At low pressure, Hg lamps emit a characteristic line spectrum, which becomes more uniform as the lamp heats up. On the other hand, Xe lamps emit light of high luminance, high color temperature, and an almost continuous spectrum distributed from the ultraviolet to the infrared.

Returns:

Type	Description
boolean	true if the optional attribute has been set, false otherwise
